Up front, I dont smoke it but have no right to tell you not to so I am fine with legalization. However, should taxpayers pick up the tab for addiction, time off work, etc? My thought is if you have the right to smoke it then you have the responsibility to have to manage any adverse consequences on your dime. Will rehab programs be paid for by taxes from the sale of marijuana or will it be treated more broadly under public health??

basically my concern is this...we already have vices that people use that often require taxpayer money to clean up the mess they cause...maily booze and tobacco. my personal thought is i should not have to pay for the damage for your bad habits. since we are legalizing a potential bad habit i am curious what mechanism is in place to deal with that?

More money is wasted in trying to police/enforce MJ laws than will be spent dealing w/MJ 'Addiction'... since MJ is much less addictive than almost all other legal & illegal drugs of abuse... (does that help answer your question, or is it rhetorical ???)

no argument there. just wondering what mechanisms are in place to deal with it. to answer green grin boy i would draw the line at food. you have to eat but you dont have to smoke or drink booze. it is an arbitrary line to be sure but that is where mine would be
